feeling pregnant

...you don't want to know...

at least all of this awful sickness is reassurance that things are going well with this little little one.

things i can eat/drink: iced tea, sprite, or most things with bubbles containing "bad for you ingredients", grilled cheese (with disgusting kraft cheese that i would otherwise never eat), popcorn, cheerios with sliced strawberries, and that is about it. awful, but so worth it in the end.

i am very much looking forward to the day when i can enjoy a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables (tomato season soon!), heaven forbid- fish, and REAL cheese.

to wean

1: to accustom (as a young child or animal) to take food otherwise than by nursing
2
: to detach from a source of dependence ; also : to free from a usually unwholesome habit or interest

ouch.
i know this could potentially be a long road, which is why i am starting now.
last night i was able to get hadley to sleep without nursing at 8 o'clock. to my surprise she slept until 3:45am. i could not believe it!
here is hoping/praying/wishing/fingers crossing for an easy road to a weaned child!

mommy's helper


hadley and i have been enjoying a relaxing morning together. as i was folding laundry on the sofa hadley though she might be of some assistance. i gave up folding and grabbed the camera. this girl is so ready to dress herself... if only she understood what goes where?

the first appointment for the second baby

i thought i was seven weeks, but my calculations were off.. only five weeks!
the ultra sound only showed the sack with the embryo.
praying everything comes together properly so we see a healthy heartbeat at our next appointment on march 18th. waiting until then is going to be SO hard!
i have been feeling a little off lately. morning sickness with hadley started at around 6 weeks, we will see next week!
